GREAT MORVICH RETURNS EAST AFTER TRIUMPH Owner Block National Turf Figure After His Horse Captures Derby. COLT SOLD FOR $4,500 BT DAVIS J. WALSH. HARRISBI'RG. Pa„ May 15.—Morvieh. the horse, and Benjamin Block, th® man. are speeding eastward today from Louisville. Ky., the scene of their now historic triumph in the forty-eighth running of the Kentucky Derby at Cburehill Downs. Mr. Block is due to arrive in New York at an early hour while the colt will follow in his special car some twelve hours later, but the reflections of each, if they have any at all, may bear a marked similarity. The man will thin!: back to this time a year ago when ho was little knowu outside his immediate circle of business and personal associates- The contrast with bis position of eminence in the turf world today may strike him as being just a bit fantastic in its seeming unreality. The horse will remember in the early spring of 1921. when he occupied a humble stall at Jamaica, living on the bounty of a none too enthusiastic owner. Morvieh then was waiting for his first

And \et the fact that Momch has never been beaten did not prevent him from changing ownership several times, the uncommon size of his knees leading many turfmen to believe that be would never do. tine of these, apparently, was A B Spreckels. who sold the colt to Slavey Ilirach for $4,000 early last sea son. Maxey hitasetf was satisfied with a SI,OOO profit in re-selling the horse to Fred Burlew, his present trainer. Fred thought very well of Morvieh. but needed the financial assistance of Block in the purchase, and the latter thus fell heir to a half interest in the colt. He was new to the turf game, and probably tills reason alone Is responsible for the fact that he owns Morvieh today and thus has become something of a national figure automatically. Just before the Saratoga meeting laßt August, Al Jolson. the actor, came to Burlew with an offer of $73,000 for the colt. Burlew. dazzled by the price, wished to accept, even though he realized Morvich's possibilities. Therefore. Mr. Block, who really was little more than a novice at the racing game, bought Burlew's interest for $40,000 and kept the horse in the family. He doesn't seem to have regretted the step at any time. In fact, one niicht say that he appeared rather gratified as he and his party rode East in a special car. /, C. A. L. Track and Tennis Meeis Hold Interest at Butler

Earlham Feared on Cinders — Baseball Team Plays Quakers and Rose Poly. This week Coach Pages representatives in all branches or sport will saunter forth to one of the most strenuous weeks of competition of the Butler spring season. Track, baseball and tennis teams will all l e busy and on the outcome of the various contests Butler's standing in the State athletic ladder will be largely determined. The I. O. A. L. track and tennis meets at Terre Haute on Friday will hold the spotlight in tbe Christiana athletic ventures for the week. With Earlham. last year's track winner, apparently stronger than ever, tbe Blue and White thinly clads are going so h-ive all they ran handle to annex enough first second and thirds, for the championship. The track squad at Butler, though. Is much stronger than last year, and has been improved by a lot of strong competition during the season. The meet should • enter largely between the Quakers and Butler, with records falling at every turn. In conjunction with the track tonrney the I. C. A. L. tennis ineel also will he held and Butler, last rear’s winners, will be out to repeat again. Only two men will represent Butler In this tourney and they are yet to be selected. Graham. Thomas, Gloin and Wylie, are about as evenly matched as it is possible for four racquet wlelders to be and this week will see some strenuous activity on the Irvington courts for the purpose of determining the Butler representatives ln the I. U. A. L. affair. The baseball team, after atoning for a disastrous week by trouncing De Pauw on Saturday, wiil try to get started on the right foot this week in the Earlham game at Richmond on Tuesday. Sat nr t' ly Rose Poly will show at Irwin Field ail since the Engineers handed Butler h- first defeat of the year in a previous meeting some lively action can be cou.ited on at this game. Staton will likely be saved especially for the Rose Invasion, with Slaughter throwing slants at tbe Quakers on Tuesday.

PURDUE AT TOP OF CONFERENCE Boilermakers Tie Michigan for Lead in Big Ten by Win Over Northwestern. LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 15.—With the Conference baseball season at the halfway mark, Purdue for the first time In many seasons is at the top. Michigan lost to Ohio and Illinois downed Wisconsin last Saturday while the Boilermakers were defeating Northwestern. The results put Purdue into a tie with Michigan for the lead. Coach Lambert’s club is the best balanced nine that Purdue has had for several years. The pitching staff is backed by good fielding aud heavy hitting. Wagner and Wallace are the mainstays of the pitching staff with Campbell and Rea In reserve. The Infield Is composed of Strack. first base; Morgan second base; Captain Fawcett, shortstop, and Allsopp, third base. Morgan and Allsopp are rested as being two of the best inflelders of the Conference. Straack is a heavy hitter and Fawcett comes through when a hit or sacrifice Is needed. In the outfield Evereman and Fawcett cover considerable territory in center and right field. Wagner, when not pitching, plays left field. Mlckelsen substitutes for Wagner when he Is on the mound, and he can be used on first. Two games are on this week's schedule, with Notre Dame coming here Wednesday afternoon, aud the Northwestern nine ns opposition at Evanston on Saturday Notre Dnme won a 2 to 1 game last week • t South Bend and Lambert's men are confident that they will reverse the score next Wednesday.

With a lead of four full games, the Giants are in a better position than the Y'ank3. Miller Huggins is only one full game ahead of the Browns and the American League champions have to tussle with the Browns and Indians. The terrific batting of the Giants was plowed up when they wont against the good pitching of the West, the New Yorkers getting fewer hits than any team In the Nntional League. Their milliondollar defense failed to function also.

If there is to be a real pennant race this season, it looks due in the American League. The Browns are camping on the trail of the champs and the Indians may come out and make it a three-way race. The Giants seetn to have the pennant sewed up in the National League.
